Children open us up to radical charity—the kind lived by martyrs. Obscure priests in backwoods France can change the world—not by debating, but by loving God. And a little bottle of holy water—available for free at any Catholic church—proves that the most precious things in life have no price. These are just a few of the extraordinary everyday insights from a philosopher who attests that Christian sanctity is much nearer and far more beautiful than we think and that the truths of the Catholic faith are simultaneously simple and profound. Our thanks to Ignatius Press and Publicist Brian O'Neel. https://wqphradio.org/2026/04/the-13th-apostle-the-shock-of-holiness-with-michael-pakaluk/ In Michael Pakaluk's The Shock of Holiness, moms at Mass are heroes—not unlike the soldiers who landed at Iwo Jima.

Joseph Ratzinger (Pope Benedict XVI), at her funeral, labeled her a “brave and faithful woman,” with “an insightful certainty . . . about the pressing questions and tasks of the Church today.” Yet her work is almost entirely unknown in the English-speaking world today. The time has come to discover Ida Görres. This collection of vibrant, piercing, often hilarious essays was written in the tumultuous years surrounding Vatican II. Rising out of this confusion, Görres reveals the raw, majestic splendor of the Catholic Church. If you think you have fallen out of love with Catholicism, read Bread Grows in Winter: a brutally honest yet poetically inspired meditation on the heart of the faith. Originally published in 1970, it is perhaps more important today than ever. Can we still trust the “leaky ship” of the Church? Yes, we can, and yes, we must. Our thanks to Ida Görres, Jennifer Bryson, Ignatius Press and publicist Brian O'Neel. https://wqphradio.org/2026/03/the-13th-apostle-bread-grows-in-winter-j-bryson/ Ida Friederike Görres was one of the brightest, most penetrating and colorful Catholic writers in twentieth-century Europe.
